Zbtb2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of immune system process. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human ZBTB2 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Zbtb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
